Anyone got a nice diagram to show where these rooms are? I saw one on here awile ago. We got veiwliner roomettes 3,5,6 and on the capitol bedrooms cde. Just currious where they are and if there good or bad rooms!
Viewliners generally point the same way (someone here will know which). Superliners can face either way.I suppose good or bad depends on the direction of travel (and by that, I mean pointing), occupancy levels and who is riding next to you. That being said, here are the diagrams:
True that. Manipulating the in-room features can appear deceptively simple and easy when you see an SCA breeze through it. Unfortunately if you're unfamiliar with the underlying mechanism it's easy to pinch or nick yourself in the process through simple carelessness. Not in the sense of experiencing permanent injury, but enough to make you think twice about it the next time around.There are potential pinch points. If you don't know just where to place your fingers, it's better not to tamper with it.
Right now, the Views are pointed vestibule rearward. However, the OP didn't really say when they were traveling and the pointing can change.Viewliners generally point the same way (someone here will know which).

I still think the Heritage sleepers had a better ride quality than anything that exists today.Thirdrail,
Slightly off topic, but I'd always wondered how Amtrak ultimately configured the Heritage cars (after handicapped requirements and whatnot). Thanks for the diagram there.
can you tell me what other things we will see? also what states will we go through? Were going from milwaukee to chicago to washigtion dc.A bit off topic but yore going to have a great trip the New River Gorge on the Cardinal is in my opinion the Grand Canyon of the East. You'll enjoy seeing that. It's east of Huntington so around seven am. I forget how Far East of HUN it is. Have a great trip
thanks!!! this makes it eaiser to tell the kids. we board at 545 so we will still get dinner right I didnt look up what times meals are. Whats the breakfast menu like? I hate eggs.States: Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, District of Columbia.
After leaving Chicago it will get dark as you eat Dinner and roll through the Corn Fields of Indiana to Indianapolis, Cincinnati and cross the Ohio River into Kentucky.
Daylight comes in West Virginia, you'll see the New River Gorge and Hills, then into Virginia with its farms, Historic Towns and across ( actually under) the Potomac into Washington.
Im not to worried. I can sleep through anything (and anywere). Mom sleeps with big ole aviator style headphones. the kids sleep like rocks.I would recommend the Capital Limited when it comes to having a group of people. Now I am not saying everyone is like this, but when you have a group of people with three or four rooms in a Viewliner Car, people like to leave their doors open and talk and yell across the hall at other members of their party in other rooms. At times this can become a little disturbing and distracting to people, like me, who like to stay in their room with their hallway door open. When you have the Superliner Bedrooms, you can open the door between the rooms, and have your hallway doors closed so you do not disturb any of the other passengers. I have met a few attendants who will politely ask for all members of their party to go to the lounge if they want to have a conversation.
I thought Amtrak went over the Potomac. Besides riding over it, I've seen Amtrak ads showing it crossing the river with the Memorials in view.States: Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, District of Columbia.

Yes, the bridge is over the river. Bob thought he was on the Blue Line..I thought Amtrak went over the Potomac.
